The Immigration (European Economic Area) Regulations 2006 have received an update with a number of interesting changes. The main changes are:
•from 16 October 2012, nationals of an EEA state who also hold British citizenship will no longer fall into the definition of an EEA national and will no longer be able to rely on the provisions of the EEA regulations. This is likely to impact these dual nationals' non-EEA family members who will no longer be able to rely on the EEA free movement regulations and will need to apply under the immigration rules in order to enter and/or stay in the UK. Exemptions do apply for those who are already residing in the UK or who have submitted their applications under the EEA regulations prior to 16 July 2012;
•a new category has been created called ‘derivative residence’ which incorporates the ruling in the European Court of Justice case of Chen [2004] EUECJ C-200/02 into the regulations. This allows a non-EEA national primary carer of a self-sufficient EEA national under 18 to have the right of residence in the UK if that EEA national’s stay in the UK is dependent upon it. Likewise, non-EEA children of EEA nationals will also have a derived right of residence. This category cannot lead to settlement.

Can anyone tell me what is the differrence between immigration rules and immigration regulations?Can the chen's parents be allowded to work after changes?Are the chen's parents treated as the family member of EU national?Do the chen's parents still need to paya large amout of money to pay UK visa fee?

Thanks, do you know what they mean by “carer of a self-sufficient EEA national under 18”? Dose that mean, we should have lot of money to stay?
Can we work under ‘derivative residence’?
Do you think a person living under ‘derivative residence’ can not get residency even after 10 years continue stay?

It was long overdue. I was speaking to a friend of mine few days back, and were discussing the ongoing infringement of EU law by the UK in regards to Zambrano. It appeared that the UK was the only country in the EU who has yet put legislation in place or procedure or policy for issuing residency to people who fall under the scope of Zambrano.

In regards to Regulation 8, it is good that one of the offending regulation has been removed. However, the requirement of Regulation 8 (2C) is not a requirement for the facilitation obligation in regulation 17(4) or Article 3(2), therefore the UK, should consider removing it altogether.

You haven't lived today successfully, unless you've done something for someone who can never repay you.'

Thanks pads x

I think you can

My second CoA will expire on 12 December 2012. On 8 November, my solicitor wrote to the UKBA to inform them about it and to remind them to deal with my outstanding Zambrano application in light of the amended Regulations. On 19 November my solicitor received a letter from UKBA with Zambrano application form asking us to complete and return it with evidence that my wife and daughter are dependent upon me within 21 days. In their letter, they stated that they are now considering Zambrano applications.

If anybody has received this sort of letter from the UKBA, please let us exchange views.

Hi Prince 74, a few of us indicated that we received this application form. I received mine on Thursday with a new CoA because my old one expired on the 2nd of November.

I thought I was the only one that received it. Apart from you, who else on this forum received this form. When are you sending your form back? I was given 21 days by which I should return it and I am meeting my solicitor tomorrow so that we can complete the form together and she will send it off before Friday, the 30th. The deadline given to us is the 6th December.

A friend of my received the form as well on 16 Nov and as posted it back to UKBA. They did not issue a new COA even though hers has expired but asked for her to send her passport and 2 passport photographs so they can issue her residence permit. She initially asked for her passport from UKBA.
